Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section- I'm confused by a new forum
Anyway, a month ago I had a nasty incident whilst out hacking with my friend. At the time I thought I was fine and hadn't lost any confidence, a few days later rode in a school and it was fine- although my canter was shockingly bad
A couple of weeks later I went on holiday and went trekking, whilst out on the trek I was terrified, mainly during road work but when the leader was failing to do a decent job of leading the trek and leaving us all in the middle of the road whilst she had many failed attempts at mounting her horse
Some people and horses started panicking and so did I. When we got to the moors it was canter time, I was quite nervous in canter because of what happened originally but i thought I'd be fine- nope my saddle slipped round and I ended up kneeling bareback on a cantering horse so did an awkward dismount int canter and managed to slow her down lol.
anyway for the rest of the trek I was really scared and thought something bad was going to happen
Now I'm worried I'll never get my confidence back
Is there anything I can do to help me get it back?
